Abstract — . With huge advancement of technology automation proved to be a key to forge future. Automatic cart movement trailer is a combination of two main activities performed constantly i.e., motion and dragging. The cart will move using the wheels attached to it. Whereas, dragging will be done by the remote-control cloud-based Wi-Fi module attached to the cart along with the controlled Ultrasonic sensors. This technology is needed as it lessens the human effort and makes it convenient to trail the baggage or luggage without having to drag it actually. Other than this, it will also contain an API modeled code which will give an alert to the owner of the cart by the means of alarm or text message which will inform that the cart has been separated by its targeted object or exceeds the range of the modeled ultrasonic sensors.
Using IoT technology, a cloud based Wi-Fi module will send the data to cloud giving the knowledge of distance and confirming that whether the cart is in range with the targeted object or not and the computing platform enables the cart to follow its targeted object using the code and the algorithms includes in it and the cart will move.

1. INTRODUCTION
In last few years automation has gained a huge success and development in the field of technology.
Automatic Cart Movement Trailer is proposed to make less human effort with more use of work. It provides ease for the dragging and carrying of the luggage. proposed which can be performed under the system realtime requirements. Through Experimental results we can see the proposed algorithm can successfully achieve target following in various scenarios, which includes straight line, circular and sharp-turn motion.
Information can easily be provided to the machines and they can adapt the requirements and work according to it.
Automation provides its end-users with the advantage of efficiency and less time-work for accomplishing a task.
3. ARDUINO
Arduino consist of a physical programmable circuit board
(microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE i.e.
Integrated Development Environment which runs on computer, used to write the computer code and upload it to the physical board [3] .
For example, Line follower robot. 3.1
Arduino requires following configuration:
IoT (Internet of Things) is implemented within the cart to provide various details i.e., it will monitor whether the distance between the cart and the targeted object is within the ambit or not, it will try to maintain that distance and if the distance exceeds its limit, then it will provide an alert.

3.2
Arduino connects to the wheel of cart and provides movement as per the direction needed. Arduino proved as an easy tool for the students having no background in electronics and programming. Fast prototyping can be done using this tool. It has affected a wider community due to its simply accessible user experience.
A.
Wi-Fi Module
This is where all the codes will be written and deployed to the cloud for gaining remote connection. Wi-Fi module is the basic hardware which contains a Wi-Fi circuit which provides the connection of Internet through the ISP
(Internet Service Provider) to the module which in-turn connect the module to the cloud.
3.3
Arduino is used as a brain for many projects for a long period counting from everyday objects to expertise instruments. They are open-source which enables user to construct them freely and make it as per user requirements.
4. INTERNET of THINGS
Internet of Things is a computing concept system in which various physical objects are connected to the internet and are able to individualize themselves to other devices. IoT is capable of transferring the data over network without the need of human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. It provides the interface between internet and the devices which in-turn gives the output as an automation of the device. Like servers are used to store the information of local computers, similarly in IoT cloud computing is used to store the data and information which provides the data when and where required through internet connectivity.

Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic Sensors are used to find the targeted object and used to maintain contact with it till a distance of 400 cm.
They are the highest technological sensors which are used in the cart to sense the targeted object and remain in its radius of 400 cm around that object.

IoT may include sensor technologies, wireless technologies or even QR codes when required as it is user friendly and work according to the algorithms given by user to fulfill user requirements. IoT is closely identified by RFID as it is used as a communication means to connect between device and cloud.
APIs are the connection made between a third-party application and the IoT Wi-Fi module which allows to send data notification in terms of text or attachment sharing the status of the module if it reaches or touches a threshold value which is marked in the algorithms of the module.
In this project, this technology is used to give a notification to the user notifying that the targeted object is not in the range of the module i.e., 400 cm. If so happens, then the module will send a text or notification to the respective targeted third-party software about the condition occurred.
